Stephen Lang Wants To Play Cable In The Next ‘Deadpool’ Movie And He’s Not Being Shy About It

Terra Nova vet Stephen Lang has an idea who should play Cable in the next Deadpool cinematic offering. Here’s a hint: The name of the guy he’s thinking of has a name that starts with a “Stephen Lan” and ends with a “g.”

Lang, who you might know better as Avatar hard-ass Colonel Miles Quaritch, hasn’t been shy about expressing his desire to play the Marvel character in the sequel to America’s new religion Deadpool. The 63-year-old thespian has outfitted his Twitter timeline with tweets campaigning for the role, plus fan (and family) endorsements that declare #langiscable. Did we mention that his pre-training physique isn’t too shabby, because the dude is looking pretty good in these lobbying selfies.

Would Stephen Lang be your ideal Cable? We think there’s some serious merit to outfitting this Tony Award nominee with the role of the X-Force alum, but we want your takes of varying heat. Sound off in the comments! Oh, also here’s a photo of Lang holding some adorable pups. It doesn’t have anything to do with the story, but it’s the internet and that’s what these things are for.

So the first thing you thought while watching Avatar was “Wow! Stephen Lang would make a great Cable”
Nope!
Granted he would make a Great Cable, but I have a hard time believing that was your first thought when watching Avatar.
